Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to discuss the main problems of Gaston Bachelard’s pedagogical philosophy. The French philosopher explored the fundamental issues of teaching – inter alia, the inquiry of the relations between teacher and disciple that he understood as dialectical exchange, the question about the most effective methods of teaching, the idea of the school as community tending to the same values – in the wide perspective of his philosophical system. Consequently, Bachelard’s philosophy of pedagogy can’t be studied apart from the most important concepts of his philosophy – the epistemological obstacle, the psychoanalysis of the scientific mind, the philosophy of “no”, and the new scientific mind.
